Micheal John Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I am using Kali Linux in Virtual Box and using Realtek RTL8812AU chipset USB Wireless Adapter which supports both 2.4 & 5 Ghz. I have successfully enabled the wireless adapter to monitor mode. Enable wireless adapter to monitoring mode: ifconfig wlan0 down airmon-ng check kill airmon-ng start wlan0 ifconfig wlan0 up iwconfig Now there are 2 issues; Issue 1: When I am using below airodump-ng command, sometimes all the 2.4 Ghz clients/devices are listed successfully. Sometimes, it is not listing the clients/devices, quite strange. I need to poweroff the Kali Linux in Virual Box and trying will work for the first time, then again not listing anything after second time. Also, I noticed my access point is at channel 151 and sometimes the channel scanning not moving greater than 12-15, which may be the issue in detecting it. Sometimes, the scanning goes beyond channel 170, but failed to list the AP which running at 151. It is very annoying to poweroff each time and test it. Any advice on the fix. airodump-ng wlan0 I am also trying to use below command to get the 5Ghz devices and it is listing but the same issue highlighted above exists for this. airodump-ng --band a wlan0 Issue 2: I am trying to test the deauthentication attack using aireplay-ng. I have enabled the wireless adpater to monitoring mode Run airodump-ng in the background airodump-ng --bssid xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx --channel 151 wlan0 bssid --> access point bssid aireplay-ng -0 10 -a xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx -c yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy wlan0 xx --> access point bssid yy --> client bssid which I wants to disconnect from network Always I am getting the message as bssid not found in the channel xx. I have tried to set the wireless adapter channel to the access point channel id, as suggested in some other thread as follows and that also not working. iwconfig wlan0 channel 151 access point is at channel 151 and tried to set manually for the wireless adapter .

i8igmac Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) I doubt its a driver issue with kali. Its fully loaded with wifi adapter firmware. But I guess upgrade for fun. maybe a virtual box driver issue, check for updates. My opinion, a bootable kali usb or dual boot with internal ssd. Try other wifi adapters. Install kali. Change to gnome-shell and its a slick operating system... Or I run linux mint19 on all my machines and I just install all thools I want from kali Edited March 21, 2019 by i8igmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
